PAYMENTS

An annual insurance/registration fee of $35.00 for the first child and $25.00 for each sibling is due with your initial registration. The insurance portion paid during the period of September 1 thru August 31 will cover that student thru that term regardless of when the payment is made during that term.

Class and registration fees are due on or before the first day of class via check or cash. Checks may be mailed to the office address. A $10.00 late fee may be imposed after the first class should additional billing reminders become necessary.

OBSERVATIONS

Classes may be observed thru glass windows in the observation room which is adjacent to the gym. Toys and books are available for sibling’s entertainment. Only class participants are allowed in the gym.

CLASS PROCEDURES

All children need to be supervised until class begins and be picked up promptly at the end of class.

Please be on time for class. The first minutes of class are used to stretch and warm up muscles & increase heart rate. This is important in preventing injury and promoting progress in the sport.

Within the class, students are grouped according to their age, ability, and skill level. Children will be taught skills which follow a progression from basic to harder skills.
